It is looking for the _ login username_. For example, when you installed
you entered your name and username in this panel:

<http://images.howtoforge.com/images/the_perfect_desktop_ubuntu_8.10/big/8.jpg>

If you used basil, enter that. However keep in mind that the username is
case sensitive, so if you entered it in all-caps (BASIL) as you have
above, you will need to enter it that way for the login as well.
